Conclusion: Hamish, call your parents!
The Story: So Dan called me up from London yesterday morning telling me all was good in the world except that he had just had a call from Bea(sp?) in Wellington. Bea had called Dan because Bea's aunty in London had just called her. Bea's aunty in London had called Bea in Wellington because the UK Police had called her. Or possibly visited her in force.
The police had called her / visited her in force because they think she might be one of those "kills people and buries the corpses in the back yard" types. And for all I know she is, but the specific alleged victim in this case is one C Montgomery Burns, err I mean Hamish.
Apprently Bea's aunts is the last known address of our estranged guitarist. Obviously they don't know about the Czech Connection, but I guess that's what free movement within the EU gets you.
According to Dan, Hamish's parents haven't heard from this year (I think that is what he said) yes, that's right, over seven months. So they have filed an International Missing Persons thingy on his arse. And probably the rest of him.
I imagine this wasn't helped by the death of his angelfire email account. His move to gmail whilst being good probably went unmentioned to his parents. I mean we only know about it from his blog, and I don't know that they know about his blog, in fact I'm pretty sure that they don't.
Evidence: Of course he could be dead. I don't know who saw him last, probably Dan when he left Prague, but we haven't seen him in person for some time, nor heard from him on the tel-e-phone. All we have are our millions of dollars, legions of fans, sporadic emails and occasional blogs. For example a few days ago we heard tell of darts.
I'm pretty confident that those emails and blog posts are indeed coming from Hamish, especially his emails that contain some of the madness that Hamish.
(The slave, the SLAVE!) But anyway, I guess even if he isn't dead he could still be locked up in a box somewhere.
In lieu of War Rocket Ajax, I have despatched Nic to contact Hamish's parents
So anyway, Hamish, call your mother. Fool.
Extra For Experts:
Dan has asked everyone to email hamish (emailhamish@gmail.com) with the subject line "Hamish you tool" in the hopes of getting some reaction out of him. Onwards.
Call to St. Albans imminent. A tool indeed. I can say no more.
